The troops quartered and • in the neighbourhood, were assembled together at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the streets were lined from that hour till the time of his arrival. At eight o'clock, more than 20,000 lamps, which had been fixed to illuminate the canal anil the streets tkrouh which the pro- cession was to pass, were lighted, and continued burning with 'a v.,ry brilliant effect for nearly the whole of th , .. night.

The King gave af terwards private audiences to Baron LUCHLELEN, Imperial Russian General, and Mr. Von TAartacti, Rot al Prussian Privy Counsellors of Legation, both sent by their respe&ive Sovereigns to congratulate his Majesty on his accession to the Swedish Throne.

NOtwithstanding the series of disasters which the Patriots have suffered itt -Spain, hopes are still in dulged, aed we are now told that the army of - the centre; qua; ered in La Carolina, is stronger than ever. The following is an extract of a letter which came to our hands yesterday, dated from the seat of Uovern went : " SEVILLE, DEC. 26.—The crisis of affairs in the South of. Spain is now rapidly approaching.; and, from the determined spirit of resistance manifested by all classes of people, it is expelled that much blood will be shed. The French, by the vast ac 'Cumulation of numbers; may overpower, but eau 'lever subdue the nation, or presume on having the tomplete and (vitt possession of a - country whose johabitams are stimulated against the,m by alt the furious passions of revenge. " Seville is very much crowded, owing to the vast concourse of itinerants who are flocking in hi- 'her from all quarters of Andalusia and La Mancha, and who are preparing to give the enemy a warm reception, should he be bold enough to penetrate the defiles of-the Sierra Morena.

Ere yet, mid Ritedecylia's irviers, humbly culi'd the Muses' flowers By silver Isis sedgy - side, Not rolling there a classic tide My native nu•ads and groves ainong, As blythe I tun'd my artless song, • My fancy hail'd the halcyon day. Crown'd with our Sovereign's opening sway, And pourd the vet to that auspicious morn Which plac'd on Britain's throne a Monarch Britain-born. Raptur'd I pour the verse again To hail the British Monarch's leingthenici reign; To celebrate the rising Year, In which a King to Britain dear Bids every British breast with grateful lay Bless the tenth lustte of his lenient sway; For while I strike the votive lyre; The thrillings of the trembling wire Are lost amid the swelling notes of praise, Which with accordant voice a grateful people pays. From Thule's hyperborean reign, To where upon the southern main Bellerus frowns•-to where the Atlantic roars, 0 verdant Erin, 'gainst thy western shores, The pans loud of exultation rise, Wafting a Nation's plaudits to the skies: And while the hallow'd rites of prayer and praise To Heaven's high throne their grateful incense raise, Mild Charity with liberal hand Spreads her best influence o'er the smiling land ; • With genial current far and wide, Flows of benevolence the copious tide, Grateful the boon, while shouting myriads see, That dries Affliction's tear, and sets the Captive free, Though looking back through many an age Since Egbert first our Saxon sires obey'd, No King recorded stands on History's page So long, who England's golden 'sceptre sway 'd.* 0 yet, through many a rolling year, Long ! long! may Albion's joyful race Behold a crown to Freedom sa,.md, grace The iMan•they lOve—the Soverign they revere. Tho' seated on her rocky th tone, Girt by her Navy's adamantine zone. Britannia rears sublime her dauntless head, Amid the storms of war that round her spread ;. Yet by a generous Monarch be posscss'd, The first great olljeet of his patriot breast, May every baleful vapouf fly ' . • That hangs malignant nokv o'er Europe's sky, Infernal Discord's iron trmpest cease, And G EORG is sun decline in• Glory and in Peace. * Though to reckon from the accession to the demise, Henry 11l reigned nominally 56, and Edward 111 so years ; yet, as the first acceded at Nine years of age, and - the last at Fourtun, they did not,.either of them, in fad, reign so long as Ins prcsait I:lJjesty.has now reigned. Notwithstanding the confident rumours circu lated by some of the relatives.of Arthiir O'Connor, that he was appointed by Buonapatte Grand Duke of Hanover, and howeVei disposed that upstart Mo-. uarch might hi, ti. adopt any measure he conceived most galling to the feelings of our beloved Sovereign, it is still true that no such - arrangement has taken place, but thaLlOti the contrary, Mr. O'Connor is out in the confidence nor favour of Buonaparte, but lives retired at some short distance from Paris, with no other support from the French Government than the half-pay of General of Division. He never. was entrusted in France with the actual command of any force, and even his countrymen and fellow exiles, M‘Niven and others,'decidedly objected to hold any confidence or . intercourse with . him, because they co nsidered him equ.tliy a traitor to their cause as he was to that of his native Government, O'Connor is married to a be:tutifui French woman, and his conduti in connubial life has been equally repre-' hensible as in his political relations.

On board the fleet were Lieutenant-Cidonel Keinin , !, of his l'slaj,sey•s 56th Regiment, with about 200 men of thin Regi ment, and 170 Bombay sem s, from the Islas d of Rodrig.'es - Colonel Keating having been sent by the Bombay Government to take pos., sessh.e. of that Islaed, Which he had done about two months beige). This force, with the marines of the fleet, and about 100 seamen under Captain Willoughby, in all 750 men, were 'ended from the Aereide at four A. M. a few miles from the newn, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Keating, Ad pushed forward as fast as possible but from the badness of the road did not errive at the lowa till seven o'clock. The party divi&d, and attacked the defence of the town, consisting of five batterie-o three of which were furnished with furnaces for red-hot shot. They experienced some resistance, but by their persevering gallantry were in posses sion of the whole five before nine o'clock, as also of the town. • The guns were turned upon the French ships in the Reads, juq t.t the time our ships were entering the bay. There, can ba nu doubt of what our would lia%e done. had there been occasion ; but the French ships seeing them selves att,icked on both side, .struck be;ore our ships were in a setiation to fire with ctfett ; so that very few shots were fired. The Prootch ships de fended the,mseives well, while their d. t'eece could be of any use, and sent a party to assist the troops on shore. Captain Fym, of the Sirius, hoisted a u;gnal for permission to anchor, which was granted, but before he opened his fire, the ships struck.

The sole object was a coup de ruaiu, , which was planned and executed with ability and vigour. The ships in the R - oad.t, and the captured cargces, were the inducements, the f_irrner of which were taken, and about half the latter, brought away, the rest having been burnt.
